CPU Senior High School Student evacuate to an open space.
The Senior High School conducted its scheduled earthquake drill on Monday July 30, 2019 at 9:30AM. The classes were supervised by their teachers as they followed the procedures of the drill. The earthquake drill started as soon as the alarm bell rang. It lasted for 35 seconds to simulate the duration of an earthquake. Everyone then followed the drop, cover and hold procedure. After which, the students calmly but quickly walked in a buddy-buddy system as their teachers signaled to proceed to the evacuation area in the park and roads not far from the SHS Building. The teachers then made a headcount of the students and reported it to their head.
The proceedings were observed by the evaluators and coordinated by the Incident Management Team led by the team leader Dr. Florence P. Bogacia, Vice President for Finance and Administration. The other team members were there like Pastor James Peter Trasporto, OIC Vice-President for Student Affairs; Rev. Francis Neil G. Jalando-on, Director for Communications; Mr. Donald Lebrilla, Coordinator of EMC; Mr. Jojee Roy Juarez, CPU Internet Services Administrator; Mr Prim Vergara III, Safety Officer; Engr. Ben Howard De Leon, Supervisor, Electrical & Mechanical System; Engr. Rhett Allan B. Baldonado, Supervisor, Facilities Maintenance & Services; and Mrs. Hermely A. Jalando-on, CPU Purchasing Officer. This committee saw to it that the needed orientation for the faculty and staff were done, and the necessary equipment were deployed. They also made observations as the drill came into completion.
CPU Elementary School pupils evacuate to the Big Field.
The evaluators consolidated their data based on the matrix, where they scored points on the performance and completion of each group participants from 1-5 (poor to excellent). This was analyzed during the debriefing held after the drill.
The debriefing was conducted at the SHS Building with all the officers and faculty facilitators. Situational post event analysis and areas of improvement based on the data submitted by the evaluators were presented for feedback and discussion by Mrs. Hermely A. Jalando-on.
In an interview, Senior High School Principal Prof. Edgar Eriman, commended the Committee for the successful implementation of the SHS Earthquake Drill. He said that “the proceedings were almost perfect, however, I admit that there were few observations on the common behavioral realities of the young senior high school students that need to be corrected.” “The faculty will decide on mini-drill schedules to be done as part of the preparation for the unexpected phenomenon,” Eriman added.
CPU Kinder pupils practice the “duck, cover, and hold” technique as they went outside of their classrooms.
Another earthquake drill was previously conducted by the CPU Junior High School on Tuesday, July 16, 2019. Around 1,400 students participated in what Prof. Janet Jalbuena, JHS Principal said was “a practice which is preparatory to a bigger earthquake drill later on. “I am grateful that we have this drill as a preparation for students.”
The Kindergarten and Elementary Schools also conducted the required earthquake drill last July with 23 and 24, respectively, with 957 total number of children combined. In an interview, CPU Kindergarten Principal Hannah Siosan lauded the outcome of the Kindergarten’s earthquake drill because it was scored as perfect. “The children followed what was instructed to them, and observed proper procedure”, she said. “The earthquake drill created awareness and preparedness for the young students – as the incident may come at an unexpected time,” Siosan added. Mr. Rodrigo Sotto, a faculty of the CPU Elementary School said, “the proceeding of our earthquake drill was done smoothly because all pupils, faculty and staff knew what do.”
The University-wide earthquake drill to be participated by everyone in the campus will be scheduled by the committee as soon as possible.

In an article on April 1946 by The Central Echo, one headline says, “They Cast a Powerful Shadow on the Campus.” They have been called “shadows” because oftentimes the American missionaries were always featured in the news. These three “shadows” were Urbano Nequin, the Registrar and Secretary; Mariano Caipang, the Comptroller; and Prof. Juan Sornito, the Supervising Engineer. They were described as “Great souls these – but unknown.” It is then the responsibility of the new generation of Centralians to know more about these people.
Let’s get to know more about these distinguished Centralians.
Urbano Nequin was described as “Faithful, strict custodian of the college records. Chief consultant of the administration and far-flung policies.”
Linnea A. Nelson and Elma S. Herradura in their book Scientia et Fides The Story of Central Philippine University published in 1991 told “The Saga of the Nequins and the School Records.” It recounted how Mr. Urbano Nequin and his family secured the records of the Registrar’s Office. When they knew that war would be coming to Iloilo, Mr. Nequin decided to bring his family to the hills of Calinog. Rev. R. Fred Chambers, President of CPC during that time, came to Calinog with a jeep and delivered the records that Mr. Nequin prepared for transport. They put the records in a cave in which their nipa house stood. Later they secured the records by putting it inside an empty metal water tank. Mr. Nequin joined the guerrillas, and it was up to Mrs. Teofila D. Nequin to take care of the records. When there was rain, Mrs. Nequin and their small children would roll the tank to their house. When alerted that Japanese soldiers will come in their area, they would roll the tank back to the cave again. When the war was over, they put the records inside the pillows, wrapped them with banana leaves and secured them at the top part of their house. It was a miracle that when CPC opened its doors in 1946, all the records of the Registrar’s Office were intact. And as of this time, all records before World War II are still with us.
Mariano Caipang was remembered for “His mastery of college finance placed Central Philippine College ‘in the black’ in spite of dire predictions. He is the campus reconstruction administrator.” If you wonder what “in the black” means, it is the opposite of “in the red” – operating in a loss. This tells us that Mr. Caipang did a marvelous job as a Comptroller after the war – balancing the books of the school while pouring money into the reconstruction of the campus after destruction brought by World War II.
One of the notable things that Mr. Caipang did was to preserve the records of the Business Office before and during World War II. Together with the cashier, Mr. Jovito Gonzales they inventoried all the physical properties of CPC before the hostilities arrived in Iloilo. Every weekend, Mr. Caipang would bring the records to Leon for safekeeping. Upon knowing that the Japanese soldiers were coming, Mr. Gonzales took the college cash box, put it in a large sack together with canned goods. He was then able to ride the last bus going to Leon. Together with Mr. Caipang, they ingeniously buried the sack with the cash in an open toilet pit. Later, when the war was over, the money that they hid was used for the immediate repairs of the campus. CPC would later receive war reparations under the Philippine Rehabilitation Act of 1946 due to diligent pre-war inventory efforts of Mr. Caipang.
Many alumni also testified about the compassion of Mr. Caipang. He would often sign promissory notes when poor but deserving students cannot pay their tuition fees on the prescribed time. These alumni who would come back during reunions in the campus would always visit Mr. Caipang and thank him for what he has done. Later, Mariano Caipang became the Vice President for Finance when CPC became Central Philippine University. He served CPU for 40 long distinguished years.
Prof. Juan Sornito, on the other hand, was greatly remembered for “He reconstructed five buildings on the old campus.” It was indeed a short statement, but the magnitude of what he has done speaks volumes. In another article, The Central Echo bannered this headline: “Back to the Old Campus. Destroyed Buildings Now Repaired; Prof. Sornito Is Guiding Engineer.”
In order to appreciate what Engr. Sornito has done, we have to describe the results of the war: “All buildings and equipment were levelled to the ground or reduced to ashes, except for six modern concrete structures, shells of which remain standing either lightly or badly damaged. They are: Valentine Hall (administration and classrooms), Lopez Hall (mess hall for boys), Franklin Hall (boy’s dormitory), Roblee Hall (Science building), Weston Hall (girl’s dormitory), and the President’s House. Words cannot describe the extent of the damage done. All that can be said is that the destruction is TOTAL in capital letters.” All of these were reconstructed and were ready for the classes that started on July 1946. Engr. Sornito worked closely together with Comptroller Caipang and Meliton Sornito as foreman. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Don Ramon Lopez, was also tasked to oversee the overall reconstruction effort.
The Central Echo gave tribute to these three men – “These men carry more than their ordinary load for which they get no salary; they go out of their way and do a lot more things than many people know, testimony of their talents and their consecration. We have seen Mr. Nequin fall ill at his desk, Prof. Sornito sleep at 2 o’clock in the morning pondering over engineering figures, Mr. Caipang hiking in the rain in shirt sleeves collecting pledges and looking after the campus property.”
These people played a big role in Central’s history. And when we remember them, and learn lessons from them, they’re not considered “shadows” anymore.

The Golden Jubilarians pose for a photo during Lucille Palabrica Kraseman’s birthday in Antique.
Memory … just like the famous song from the Broadway musical Cats, the Central Philippine University (CPU) College of Nursing class of 1969 AKA the 69ers, dreamed of the old days and remembered that life was beautiful then as they commemorated their Golden Jubilee from February 7 to 12, 2019. Attended by 25 69ers and some 12 husbands, the class reunion was celebrated in the provinces of Iloilo and Antique, and in six different venues: CPU; Iloilo Mission Hospital (IMH); Tambaliza/Pan de Azucar Island in Concepcion, Iloilo; Dingle, Iloilo; San Jose, Antique; and Pavia, Iloilo.
Day Five – 11 February 2019. San Jose, Antique. Happy Birthday, Lucille Palabrica Kraseman!
Those who stayed in the hotel woke up and took an early dip in the nearby beach while Paday and Jess prepared, packed and brought breakfast to the beach house where the rest of the classmates were billeted. Breakfast was devoured as quickly as it was served. Shortly after, the long table broke up into smaller interest groups. In one group, classmates were telling funny stories about their experiences in a foreign land especially during the first year of acculturation. Some were sharing their life stories on how they transcended challenges and hard knocks as immigrants. Grandmas bragged about their children’s children. Others were laughing over kwentong barber, adult-rated jokes, while some opted to just the watch the kids at play in the beach whiling the time away for the next activity/venue.
Golden Jubilarians enjoy their morning swim.
Closer to noon meant closer to lunch! The same vans took the jubilarians to a restaurant located just around the corner from the beach house. The lunch was sponsored by Lucille Palabrica-Kraseman and hubby Dieter, who maintained two domiciles – San Joaquin, Iloilo, and Germany. The lunch was to celebrate Lucille’s “th” birthday. By her looks, it might as well be her 50th! The jubilarians and guests occupied the previously reserved seats at the restaurant, which almost filled to capacity except for a couple of tables for other restaurant patrons. The seven course lunch buffet was exclusive to the jubilarians and guests only. Weight watchers had repeatedly broken their promise!
After the eating had dwindled down, Daday stood up and suggested that classmates and guests offer the birthday girl a toast of good wishes. A chair was pulled in front of the buffet table by Lucille to sit facing the group. Then classmates and some guests one at a time, table by table, stood up and offered Lucille verbal affirmations and positive validations. Collectively, these affirmations became what Daday referred to as a “spiritual bouquet of well wishes!” Once again, happy birthday sweet sixteen just as we were when we stepped into the CPU College of Nursing!
The Antique part was well-played. Soaked with fun of the day’s activities, all headed back to the van, and back to the CPU campus with great anticipation on what’s in store for the next day’s event.

Dengue preventive measures such as thermal fogging were conducted in all areas around the campus.
Central Philippine University conducted a University-Wide Dengue Control Measure operation last July 19-20, 2019. Office work and classes in all levels were cancelled to give way for the said program.
“To address the dengue outbreak in the city and other areas in the province, we opted to drastically approach the situation with a pest control measure, which we coined as dengue control measures,” said Mr. Prim Vergara III, CPU Safety Officer.
University Unit Directors and Heads, led by Vice President for Finance and Administration Dr. Florence Bogacia had an emergency meeting on July 18 at the Henry Luce III Library. It was decided that classes and office work will be cancelled on the 19th and 20th, so the dengue control measures could fully take place.
Thermal fogging being carried out in one of the classrooms.
Dengue preventive measures such as thermal fogging and residual spraying were carried out during the said dates. Dormers and residents on campus were advised to leave their homes from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on July 20.
“This is not something we could eradicate overnight. We are continually monitoring all areas on campus and we will do follow-up residual spraying,” Vergara said.
Last July 23, sumilarv, a chemical, was deposited in sedated water areas around the campus. It is applied by broadcasting to areas where water has accumulated to kill mosquito wrigglers right at the source.
Iloilo province was placed under a state of calamity on July 24, due to a rise in the number of dengue cases.
